6. How does Micah, a true and godly prophet of God, describe himself in Micah 3:8?

Applying the Scripture 

10. As Christians, we have all been given a certain authority when we speak and live out the Word of God before a watching world. How does that statement make you feel?


11. What impact can unfaithfulness and ungodliness by those who lead the church have in a church community?

13. Put together a list of those who lead our church family and begin to pray regularly for them.

    • How have I sought to use this day to grow in my humility?
